Figures & data
Table 1. Meteorological data monitored 24 h during Treatment 2 and Treatment 3.
Table 2. Least-square means and standard error (SEM) of RT, respiratory frequency (RF), CORT and IGF-I concentration measured in experimental cows under thermal comfort.
Figure 2. Cortisol and IGF-I levels (ng/ml) before and after ACTH administration in experimental cows. The values are means and standard errors of the mean. Means labelled with different letters differ (P ≤ .05) within time.

Figure 3. Cortisol and IGF-I levels (ng/ml) measured on 18th, 20th and 22nd day of the experimental period in cows submitted to heat stress during seven consecutive days (from 16th to 22nd). The values are means and standard errors of the mean. Means labelled with different letters differ (P ≤ .05) on day within sampling time.
